What Do I Need to Study to Become an Astronaut? B.Sc Physics
UG Degree B.Sc Physics
Introduction of the Program:
Physics is one of the basic and fundamental sciences. A bachelor degree in Physics is a great foundation for career in government jobs, industries, government labs and in the astronaut corps. Physics brings a broad perspective to any problem. This intensive thinking makes the physicist desirable in any field. That’s why physics graduates can expect career salaries similar to those of computer science and engineering major.
Objectives of the Program:
The UG course in Physics helps the students to understand the world around us, the world inside us and the world beyond us. Physics encompasses the study of the universe from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies. Moreover it is the basis if many other sciences like chemistry, oceanography, seismology and can be applied to biology or medical sciences. All are easily accessible to a bachelor’s degree in physics. Physics challenges our imagination with concepts like relativity and string theory. It leads to great discoveries like computers and lasers that lead to technologies Placed at the meeting of Academic Council held on 26.03.2018 1961 which change our lives – from healing joints to curing cancer and to develop sustainable energy solutions.
Students from Palani, Udumalpet, Oddanchatram, Dharapuram, Kodaikanal can benefit.
Outcome of the Program:
The Syllabus for B.Sc., Physics degree under semester system has been designed on the basis of Choice Based Credit System, (CBCS) which would focus on job oriented programmes and values added education. It will effect from June 2018 onwards. Duration of the course is three years. The students who are joining the B.Sc., (Physics) degree shall undergo a study period of three academic years – Six Semesters. While preparing the syllabus, care is taken to provide the requirements of students who opt physics, for developing their skill and competence in their career. Hence after completion of the course, the student will be enriched with recent trends in Physics and be motivated towards higher studies and research activities. During the preparation of the syllabus and curriculum, the UGC model curriculum and syllabi of world best universities were considered.
Employment Roles: Astronaut, Astronomer, Chemist, Hydrologist, Nurse, College Professor, etc.

UNITIZATION
The important concepts of each subject is uniformly distributed in five units and properly required hours to teach are allotted
-
PATTERN OF SEMESTER EXAMINATION
The semester examination comprises of two parts i) internal assessment and ii) External examination. The maximum marks for the internal and external examinations are 25 and 75 respectively.
-
THE SCHEME FOR INTERNAL ASSESSMENT
Two tests will be conducted.
The average of the two is taken – 10 marks
3rd test may be allowed for absentees of any one of the two tests.
Group Discussion / Seminar / Quiz – 5 marks.
Quiz 2 Quiz should be conducted.
2 Assignments : 5 mark each ; average 5 marks
Peer team teaching and Peer group learning – 5 marks
-
EXTERNAL EXAMINATION
